Elevators
Conversations overheard on New York elevators at different times, on different days.
Man: “So do you still have that crazy neighbor?”
Woman: “No, well … me and my boyfriend broke-up.”
Man: “Oh.”
Woman: “Yeah, so I moved out. I have different neighbors now. Equally annoying.”
Man: “Well I’m sorry to hear that. I had no idea.”
Woman: “No, it’s okay. It was for the best.”
Man: “Well when did it happen if I may?”
Woman: “April. Late April. It’s fine. Really.”
Man: “And you’re in Brooklyn or Manhattan? Brooklyn.”
Woman: “Brooklyn, yeah-yeah. Prospect Heights. Across the street from the museum. I love it.”
Ding!
Woman: “Well take care.”
Man: “Okay, bye.”
